O/K Just looked it up.....So Spain,if your'e in the shi@ we are near Almeria and can get to you if needed.
That's really kind, thanks, but worse scenario our breakdown cover will provide a car.
Mechanic came out yesterday and initially said engine knackered but then thankfully changed to pipe broken or come loose but fetching us today and taking to a garage to put on ramp, so fingers crossed.
We've just left Almeria area shame we didn't know you were there been good to have met up

I do hope your ferry is from Bilbao or Santander as the channel ports are too far away from where you are - south of Madrid. :eek:

Mine, same year as Brian's, broke its flywheel at 22k miles, then for a grand finale after being repatriated burnt its exhaust gas re-circulation valve out. I thought Ford engines were supposed to be good!!

Don't think we'll have another
Mine's a 14 plate on Peugeot base 16,000 miles, could you let us all know what failed please.

Thanks,
John.
Cam shaft pulley came loose, resulting in oil seal leaking and the plate they fit onto getting badly grooved, from what we can understand of the Spanish mechanic
